With the Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti having held pubic grievances camps in almost all Districts of the State, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and former Minister on Wednesday questioned the neglect of District Udhampur from the itinerary of the CM.
Addressing public meeting here, Harsh said that primarily being an opposition bastion, District Udhampur was being ignored in development and allied matters for political reasons with opposition workers also being harassed and terrorised. He said that with the BJP Ministers and its hostile leadership averse to the development needs and other genuine concerns of the District, the CM too seemed to have ignored the District at the behest of BJP.
Are you not the CM of District Udhampur? questioned Harsh to Mehbooba lodging his strong protest with regard to all round neglect of the second largest district.
Urging upon the Chief Minister to hold Public Darbar in Udhampur also on the analogy of other Districts, Singh said that it would enable her to have a firsthand assessment of the ground situation besides the working of District Administration that was being used by vested interests in the government to subserve their political interests leading to alienation and unrest amongst the general masses.
Alleging politicisation of bureaucracy, Singh said that several BJP Ministers and Deputy CM in particular were using the civil and police administration to browbeat the Panthers Party workers and to settle political scores with them.
Seeking the personal intervention of the Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti into the motivated administrative activism against Panthers Party, the Party Chairman regretted that the District Udhampur had failed to receive her attention despite several reports of maladministration, massive corruption and a partisan bureaucracy.
In his letter to the Governor and Chief Minister, Singh said that not only were the democratic rights of opposition being trampled upon in District Udhampur but all those who dared to raise their voice against injustice and deprivation were being booked under false and frivolous criminal cases by a biased administration at the behest of BJP Ministers and its bankrupt leadership.
